Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a bathroom heater switch. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the thickness of a bathroom heater switch typically depends on the arrangement of its internal components. Since button operation requires power transmission through multiple layers, it often occupies more vertical installation space, resulting in a larger overall switch thickness. This makes it unsuitable for increasingly compact wall-mounted boxes, causing installation difficulties. Furthermore, some bathroom heater switches that enable multi-button linkage have complex linkage designs and difficult component assembly. After prolonged use, these switches are prone to issues such as transmission jamming and linkage misalignment, affecting the switch's stability and lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a bathroom heater switch.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A bathroom heater switch includes a switch box, a panel assembly, and a switch transmission assembly. The panel assembly is disposed on one side of the switch box and includes a panel bracket, a panel frame, and a switch button. The switch box and the panel frame are respectively disposed on both sides of the panel bracket. The switch button is swayably disposed on the panel frame. The switch transmission assembly is disposed on the switch box and includes a jump plate transmission component and a button transmission component. The button transmission component is connected to the switch button and the jump plate transmission component respectively. One end of the jump plate transmission component extends into the interior of the switch box. The portion of the button transmission component that connects with the jump plate transmission component is recessed to form a transmission overlap portion. The end of the jump plate transmission component near the button transmission component overlaps the transmission overlap portion. A linkage component is disposed between the button transmission components. The linkage component is movably disposed on the switch box, and its two ends are respectively connected to the corresponding button transmission component.

[0006] Preferably, the button transmission assembly is provided in at least two sets, each set of the button transmission assembly includes at least two button transmission components, and adjacent button transmission components in each set of the button transmission assembly are provided with a linkage structure and synchronous oscillation is achieved through the linkage structure.

[0007] Preferably, the linkage structure protrudes or recesses on at least one side of the button transmission component, and the adjacent button transmission components form a linkage overlapping surface corresponding to the linkage structure's recess or protrusion. The linkage overlapping surface and the linkage structure abut against each other. When any button transmission component swings due to the drive of the switch button, the other button transmission component swings synchronously through the cooperation of the linkage overlapping surface and the linkage structure.

[0008] Preferably, the switch box has a linkage groove on the portion between adjacent button transmission components, the linkage component is oscillatingly disposed in the linkage groove, the linkage component is U-shaped, and the two ends of the linkage component are respectively connected to the corresponding button transmission components during the oscillation process.

[0009] Preferably, the center of the end face of the linkage near the bottom wall of the linkage groove protrudes to form a swing end of the linkage, and the bottom wall of the linkage groove is provided with a swing groove corresponding to the swing end of the linkage, and the swing end of the linkage extends into the swing groove and swings to connect with the switch box.

[0010] Preferably, the switch button protrudes towards the button drive component to form a switch drive end, and the button drive component protrudes towards the switch drive end to form an arc-shaped drive end, which is connected to the switch drive end.

[0011] Preferably, the center of the end face of the switch box near the panel assembly is recessed to form a movable groove, and the movable groove has an inclined groove wall that connects with the button transmission assembly.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by lowering the button transmission component to form a transmission overlap, the overall thickness at the connection between the button transmission component and the jump plate transmission component is reduced, thereby making the overall thickness of the bathroom heater switch smaller. This helps to achieve a thinner design for the bathroom heater switch, which is suitable for the current bathroom decoration requirements for switches with low protrusion and more aesthetically pleasing installation. At the same time, the lowered transmission overlap can play a positioning and limiting role for the overlap end of the jump plate transmission component, preventing the jump plate transmission component and the button transmission component from misaligning and loosening during long-term use of the bathroom heater switch, reducing the probability of transmission failure, and improving the service life and working stability of the bathroom heater switch.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0023] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a bathroom heater switch, including a switch box 1, a panel assembly 2, and a switch transmission assembly 3. The panel assembly 2 is disposed on one side of the switch box 1. The panel assembly 2 includes a panel bracket 4, a panel frame 5, and a switch button 6. The switch box 1 and the panel frame 5 are respectively disposed on both sides of the panel bracket 4. The switch button 6 is swayably disposed on the panel frame 5. The switch transmission assembly 3 is disposed on the switch box 1. The switch transmission assembly 3 includes a jump plate transmission component 7 and a button transmission component 8. The button transmission component 8 is connected to the switch button 6 and the jump plate transmission component 7 respectively. One end of the jump plate transmission component 7 extends into the interior of the switch box 1. The part of the button transmission component 8 that connects with the jump plate transmission component 7 sinks up and down to form a transmission overlap part 9. The end of the jump plate transmission component 7 near the button transmission component 8 overlaps the transmission overlap part 9. Specifically, in this design, by lowering the button transmission assembly 8 to form a transmission overlap 9, the overall thickness at the junction of the button transmission assembly 8 and the jump plate transmission component 7 is reduced, thereby making the overall thickness of the bathroom heater switch smaller. This helps to achieve a thinner design for the bathroom heater switch, adapting to the current bathroom renovation requirements for switches with low protrusion and a more aesthetically pleasing installation. At the same time, the lowered transmission overlap 9 can play a positioning and limiting role for the overlap end of the jump plate transmission component 7, preventing the jump plate transmission component 7 and the button transmission assembly 8 from misaligning and loosening during long-term use of the bathroom heater switch, reducing the probability of transmission failure, and improving the service life and operational stability of the bathroom heater switch.

[0024] Furthermore, the button transmission assembly 8 is provided in at least two sets, and each set of the button transmission assembly 8 includes at least two button transmission components 10. A linkage structure 12 is provided between adjacent button transmission components 10 in each set of the button transmission assembly 8, and synchronous swing is achieved through the linkage structure 12. A linkage component 11 is provided between the button transmission assemblies 8. The linkage component 11 is movably mounted on the switch box 1, and the two ends of the linkage component 11 are respectively connected to the corresponding button transmission assembly 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, through the linkage structure 12 between the button transmission components 10, the synchronous swing of multiple button transmission components 10 within the same group of button transmission components 8 can be achieved. Only one corresponding switch button 6 needs to be pressed to drive all associated button transmission components 10 to complete the driving action synchronously. The user does not need to press multiple switch buttons 6 one by one, which simplifies the operation steps of turning on and switching the function of the bathroom heater. At the same time, different button transmission components 8 are connected by linkage components 11, which can realize the linkage of multiple groups of button transmission components 8, meet the linkage driving requirements of switching different function modes of the bathroom heater, and make the structural design more compact. It also does not require adding too many extra parts, and can control the overall processing and assembly cost of the bathroom heater switch.

[0025] Furthermore, the linkage structure 12 protrudes or recesses on at least one side of the button transmission component 10. Adjacent button transmission components 10 form linkage contact surfaces 13 corresponding to the protrusions or recesses of the linkage structure 12. The linkage contact surfaces 13 abut against the linkage structure 12. When any button transmission component 10 swings under the drive of the switch button 6, the engagement of the linkage contact surfaces 13 and the linkage structure 12 drives the other button transmission component 10 to swing synchronously. Specifically, in this embodiment, the linkage structure 12 is integrally formed on the side wall of the button transmission component 10, eliminating the need for additional linkage parts. This reduces assembly steps and avoids the increased thickness caused by additional parts. Simultaneously, the driving force is transmitted through the protrusion-recession contact method, resulting in a direct and accurate transmission response. Excessive transmission gaps prevent lag, ensuring the synchronicity of the actions of multiple button transmission components 10. The user's touch when pressing the switch button 6 is also more consistent and crisp, improving the user experience.

[0026] Furthermore, a linkage groove 14 is formed on the portion of the switch box 1 located between adjacent button transmission components 8. The linkage member 11 is oscillatingly disposed within the linkage groove 14. The linkage member 11 is U-shaped, and its two ends engage with the corresponding button transmission components 8 during the oscillation process. Specifically, in this embodiment, the linkage member 11 is set as an oscillating U-shaped structure and confined within the preset linkage groove 14 of the switch box 1. This ensures that the movement trajectory of the linkage member 11 is stable during the oscillation process, preventing misalignment and jamming. The two ends of the U-shaped structure can form stable abutment transmission with the button transmission components 8 on both sides. The structure occupies less internal space, which can further meet the thin design requirements of the bathroom heater switch. At the same time, the linkage groove 14 on the switch box 1 itself can also provide limiting support for the linkage member 11, eliminating the need for an additional dedicated mounting bracket for the linkage member 11. This further simplifies the internal structure of the bathroom heater switch and reduces the cost of parts processing and assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, the center of the end face of the linkage 11 near the bottom wall of the linkage groove 14 protrudes to form a swing end 15. The bottom wall of the linkage groove 14 is provided with a swing groove 16 corresponding to the swing end 15. The swing end 15 extends into the swing groove 16 and swings to connect with the switch box 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the swing fulcrum of the linkage 11 at the center of its end face, the linkage 11 can swing stably around the fulcrum in the linkage groove 14. When the two ends abut against the button transmission assembly 8, there will be no fulcrum offset, which further improves the stability of the linkage action between multiple sets of button transmission assemblies 8. At the same time, the swing end is integrally formed on the linkage 11, eliminating the need for additional assembly of hinge parts such as pins. This reduces the number of parts and avoids the hinge parts occupying additional thickness space, continuing to conform to the design direction of the thin bathroom heater switch. It also avoids the problem of wear and play in the hinge structure after long-term use, extending the service life of the linkage structure 12.

[0028] Furthermore, the switch button 6 protrudes towards the button transmission component 10 to form a switch transmission end 17, and the button transmission component 10 protrudes towards the switch transmission end 17 to form an arc-shaped transmission end 18, which is connected to the switch transmission end 17. Specifically, in this embodiment, a transmission structure in which the arc-shaped transmission end 18 and the switch transmission end 17 abut against each other is adopted. During the swinging process of the switch button 6 driving the button transmission component 10, the arc-shaped transmission end 18 can always maintain stable contact with the switch transmission end 17, avoiding the problem of contact slippage and transmission failure that easily occurs in the planar transmission end during the swinging process; at the same time, the contour of the arc surface can adapt to the angle change of the contact position during the swinging process, making the force of the button transmission more uniform and smooth, without transmission jamming or sudden force changes, further optimizing the user's operating feel of pressing the switch button 6, and also reducing the speed of long-term friction and wear of the transmission parts, further improving the overall service life of the bathroom heater switch.

[0029] Furthermore, the center of the end face of the switch box 1 near the panel assembly 2 is recessed to form a movable groove 19, which has an inclined groove wall that connects with the button transmission assembly 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the recessed movable groove 19 can provide sufficient swing space for the button transmission assembly 8, while the inclined groove wall can avoid the movement trajectory of the button transmission component 10 during swing, preventing interference and jamming between the button transmission component 10 and the end face of the switch box 1 during swing, ensuring smooth button transmission. The recessed groove design does not require additional increase in the overall thickness of the switch box 1, which can still meet the design requirements of a thin bathroom heater switch. The groove wall itself can also implicitly limit the swing range of the button transmission component 10, preventing damage to the transmission structure due to excessive button swing amplitude.

[0030] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
